Changing Transport PINs on Your Maltese Identity Card: A Guide

1 min read

To alter the transport PINs on your Maltese Identity Card, you would usually require the official smartcard middleware. However, this method isn’t compatible with Android devices and also requires a contactless smartcard reader, which may not be easily accessible.

For a more user-friendly approach, consider using the “CodeB Authenticator” app available in the Android Store. The procedure is straightforward:

  1. Install the CodeB Authenticator: Download and install the app on your Android phone from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codeb.authenticator
  2. Initiate Card Reader: Open the app and select “Card Reader” from the menu.
  3. Enter CAN Number: Input your card’s 6-digit CAN Number, located on the front of your ID card, and press OK.
  4. Position Your Phone: Place your mobile device over the Identity Card. You should feel a haptic feedback indicating the card’s detection.
  5. PACE Protocol Activation: A progress bar will display as the PACE Protocol (akin to a secure connection tunnel) is established. Once complete, options to change your PINs will appear.
  6. Change PINs Individually: Perform this step for both Signature and Authentication PINs.
  7. Set New PIN: Enter your 4-digit transport PIN followed by your new PIN, which should be 6 to 8 characters long. Confirm by pressing OK. Ensure your mobile remains close to the card to maintain the connection.
  8. Ready for Use: Your Maltese Identity Card is now set up for document signing and authentication to remote systems.
